Details
- The WEDAL (Westdeutschland-Anbindungsleitung, Western German gas link) connects the MIDAL Gas Pipeline with the Belgian pipeline system. The pipeline enables transport of both (North) western European and Russian natural gas.
- The first section of the WEDAL, which was completed in January 1997, starts at Bad Salzuflen and stretches to Soest in Westphalia.
- the second section of the 800 mm diameter pipeline was connected to the grid. This enables natural gas to be transported from Soest right across the state of North Rhine Westphalia to the Belgian border at Aachen.
- The pipeline includes a 410 meter long underwater section at a depth of 3.5 metres under the River Rhine at Cologne
